Science provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding of important scientific concepts and processes, the practices used to develop scientific knowledge, of science's contribution to our culture and society, and its applications in our lives. Students will use Inquiry Learning to build on problem solving and higher order thinking skills. The curriculum supports students to develop their scientific knowledge, understandings and skills to make informed decisions about local, national and global issues and to participate in science-related careers. In Year 7 & 8, all students study four core areas of Science – Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth & Space Science.
In
Year 10, all students continue to study the four core units of Science –
Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth & Space Science. In these core units, students will develop an
understanding of the nature of scientific inquiry and the ability to use a range
of scientific methods to plan and conduct experiments and investigations based
on ethical principles.
